I began work in Hulme as a CRCW on 18th July 1989. In some ways it feels as though I have always lived in Manchester and my time in Birmingham seems but a distant memory. This report outlines the work of the project during its ten year life and, looks at my work issue by issue, highlighting the important issues that have been part of this project during this time.  This work has been varied, frustrating, rewarding, and challenging, but never boring.  The issues have included housing (redevelopment, tenants associations, housing meetings), work with the church, youth work, credit union, supervising students and much more.  These stories will be expanded on the inside pages of this report.
